KEMET Ferrite Power Inductor, 4.7uH, 5.6A Irms

The KEMET Ferrite Power Inductor (4.7µH) is a high-performance component designed for efficient energy management in demanding electronic circuits. Featuring a drum core construction with a nickel-zinc (NiZn) ferrite core, this inductor is engineered for superior performance in power conversion and noise filtering applications. Its magnetic non-shielded design offers a compact and effective solution for a wide range of modern electronics.

This inductor is specifically suitable for use in DC/DC converters and noise filters, where stable inductance and high current handling are critical. It boasts an impressive RMS current (Irms) rating of 5.6A and a high saturation current (Isat) of 14.7A, ensuring reliable operation under peak load conditions without core saturation. The very low DC resistance of just 0.02 ohms maximises efficiency by minimising power losses.

Typical Applications

The versatile nature of this ferrite power inductor makes it ideal for numerous fields. Key applications include LED lighting drivers, xDSL modems, copying machines, flat-screen televisions, smart meters, and various switched-mode power supplies (SMPS). Its robust design supports an operating temperature range of up to +105°C, guaranteeing stable performance in environments with elevated temperatures.
